A modular piolet with a curved shaft for technical mountaineers, the Black Diamond Venom Ice Tool plunges into snow, self arrests and provides solid placements in steep alpine ice. The interchangeable pick design gives you a choice between the Venom Classic Pick and the Venom Tech Pick, which has a more technical reverse curve. Both pick options securely self-arrest on snow. The Venom Hammer is equipped with a Tech Pick and the Venom Adze comes with the Classic Pick.
